Cell Phones and Texting

Cell phones are the main source of distracted driving. Driving while using a handheld cell phone is unsafe and illegal.

Adult drivers should only use a cell phone in hands-free mode when necessary.

• Do not answer your cell phone if it rings. Let the call go to voicemail. If you must return or make a call, pull safely off the road.
• Do not send or read text messages or emails while driving.
• Mount your cell phone on the windshield, dashboard, or center console. It cannot block your view of the road.
• Use the single swipe or touch feature on the mounted cell phone.
